Mark_Sc

How much did you pay?

ScumLord

In total the order was $49 that was for the adapter & silicone stuff and about $9 shipping. I just can't get over how they managed to get it here so quick, over a weekend too. :eek:

I've found that alot of parcles go to germany and england before they get to ireland so dont worry.

padmundo

Nope it hasn't yet and mine left the same date as yours... I was really hoping to get it today because I had the day off too.

Mark_Sc

kdouglas

liamo333

No you dont hong kong post is quite good. You hate an post, i bet it is in the country and yall have it tomorrow.

Mark_Sc

I hope so...

ScumLord

Whats the typical deliver time from keith?

kdouglas

2 days from the day you place your order until it ships (sometimes less, but assume 2), then approx 5 working days for delivery from HK to ireland, 3 of which it spends in ireland

ScumLord

I got the email that it was shipped on the same day a friday, and the HK website said it had been shipped out of HK by monday. So it's been about 5 working days still no sign of it on anposts website but I wouldn't be too surprised if anposts tracking wasn't great.

I'll probably be made wait until wednesday for it, I have the gas the pellets and adapter now but no pistol.

Trust me, I know from experience - its worse when you have your new pistol and no gas

ScumLord

I thought I'd end up like that but now I'm thinking if I had the gun I could at least regress to a 12 year old and roll around the kitchen floor pretending to be in the A-team or someit. It's no fun playing with the adapter and silicone oil.

tonyj_mc

defo worse to have the gun first, got my order in waiting for gas to arrive so spent about a week cocking and dry firing and loading mags and what not, managed some how to mess up the trigger thisnk its a just spring but have ordered the spares so haven't been able to use it properly at all have to manually push forward the trigger before each shot

Mark_Sc

Ok its been 12 days since i placed my order and it still seems to be outside the country. So ive sent an Email to Keith... unfortunatly there will be no pistol tomorro....

1. I can see you now....rolling around the kitchen floor acting like Murdock, with your dad yelling at you "Quit your messin' ya crazy fool"

2. I'm sure that there are some good pranks you can play with the silicone oil.

If you get silicon oil on your floor you will be falling over 5 times a day for the next few months.

If you're just beginning with airsoft, I'd suggest staying away from a sniper role. You need to be a long time experienced player to even attempt it. Not to mention that you can't own upgraded bolt actions unlicensed. Won't be able to do much with a 1 joule one.

Oh and please don't use text speak. There is need for it. Especially when you have all those nice shiny keyboard keys just begging to be used...

If you want to look through some ghillie suits, they have them on speedytoys;

There was someone there on saturday with a ghile suit. Samjkfisher could tell you more about it.

tonyj_mc

Has anybody ever orderd of airsoftgunner before. Looks just like RSOV only cheaper prices, one slight problem my order has been processing now for a week and a half, he doesn't seem to reply to e-mail / questions and i onlt got an automated order confirmation. getting slighty antsy really want my new AEG :mad:

[--SC(+)PE--]

ordered from him once before and it took ages to get my gun [i wanted something else by the time i got it :rolleyes: ] try catching him on msn its the only quick way to get through to him

tonyj_mc

might give that a shot, in future its keith in RSOV all the way for my clone, needs.
Its so bloody annoying, was thinking i was saving a good bit of money worked it out today and it was only 20, would have gladly paid it to have my AEG now

[--SC(+)PE--]

same thing happend me. took like 3 weeks for my gunner order, i off my Rsov orders was 3 days, usually 5 but still

tonyj_mc

yeah, got a cheap springer sniper from keith arrived in like five days. this guy on gunner its still showing at processing on his site:mad:

Mark_Sc
